Attention​: Glen Conforti


Dear Glen,

INFORMATION RESPONSE - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A
MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE (DUAL OCCUPANCY) AND OPERATIONAL
WORKS AT 6 ANGLER STREET, NOOSA HEADS (LOT 30 ON RP92522)

Further to Council’s Information Request issued 24 December 2020, we now respond in full to
each of the items raised.

In support of this application please find enclosed:

   ●   Revised Architectural Plans prepared by Blackburne Jackson; and
   ●   Engineer Plans and Engineering Information Response Letter prepared by SCG
       Consulting Engineers.

Please find below the response to each of the items raised by Council:

Item 1

Provide updated plans complying with PO8 of the Medium Density Residential Zone
Code, and the definition of basement under Noosa Plan 2020.

Response: Please refer to revised Architectural Plans (7189-DA11 - Section 1). The finished
ground level and top of the driveway wall is shown at RL 69.2 and is less than 1.0m below the
structural edge beam to the adjacent balcony.

Item 2

Provide updated plans indicating a compliant site cover, including all buildings and
structures, in accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition.

Response: ​The structure located at the rear of the site is a cubby house. This is considered
part of the landscaping on site and is therefore excluded from site cover calculations in
accordance with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition of site cover.

Item 3

Provide a Plot Ratio Calculation Plan indicating a compliant plot ratio, in accordance
with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition.

Response: ​The revised Architectural Plans (7189-DA02 - Summary) shows a reduction in gross
floor area, which has resulted in a compliant plot ratio of 0.4:1 in accordance with the Noosa
Plan 2020 definition.

Item 4

Provide evidence the Level 02 Balcony will not adversely impact on the privacy and
amenity of the adjoining property to the north.

Response: Please refer to revised Architectural Plans (7189-DA11 - Section 2) which shows
cross sections through the western balcony and the adjacent property. The revised plans show
the northern balustrade to Level 2 to include obscure glass infill to eliminate the line of sight to
the private open space area of the adjoining property to the north. We note the private open
space for the northern adjoining property has been constructed to the minimum setback with
little to no privacy elements included.

The upper level terrace on the neighbouring property to the north is well setback to the east
and sits higher than the proposed Level 2 balcony. It is considered that there is no opportunity
for overlooking in this regard. The northern setback of the proposed development has been
setback greater than the minimum requirement with a view to provide greater horizontal
separation to the adjoining dwellings to minimise privacy and overlooking concerns.

Item 5

Demonstrate compliance with the Sustainable Building Design Code in particular:

       a.      PO1 and PO2 of Table 9.4.6.3;
       b.      PO7 and PO8 & AO8.1 or AO8.2 of Table 9.4.6.3; and
       c.      Incorporate any design changes which are required to meet the Code.

Response: Please refer to revised Architectural Plans and below table which addresses the
Sustainable Building Design Code.
